Ålesund - Molde - the Atlantic Road - Kristiansund This trip takes you from Ålesund via Molde to Kristiansund via what is often described as the world’s most beautiful road – the Atlantic Road. You can enjoy the view of the Atlantic Road and the fascinating surroundings from the bus! On the way, you have some time in Molde to walk around this charming town between the fjord and the hills. Molde offers a magnificent view towards the fjord and the mountains on the other side, and has a multitude of shops, cafés, etc. With its location at the edge of the mighty ocean, the Atlantic Road is as beautiful in sunshine and calm weather as in full storm and rain.
